What’s your balance?

There’s a new supermom study out today. It talks about how moms who try to do it all are at higher risk of depression — because, of course, you just can’t do it all. And then you’re disappointed in yourself, and perhaps everyone around you (read husbands).

The idea is to manage your expectations and decide what your personal “fit” is. So I tried to think for myself what I believe to be the important things I need to do as a mom and as an employee, knowing I can’t be everything at once.

As a mom I think I want to keep my kids alive, clothed and fed, listen when they need to ask something of me, be a good role model — and that includes modeling what it means to hold down a job and do your best at it.
